AD2 SUPP/ERSA Summary Flashcards
What are the limits for YSNW CIRA and what is considered a normal clearance for pilots requesting the CIRA?
5Nm from the Nowra TACAN, SFC to 2000ft AMSL.
RW aircraft usually cleared CIRA not above 1500ft.
Visual departures and arrivals are possible from taxiways upon air traffic approval, where are they?
Spot 1: C2
Spot 2: C3
Spot 3: B4
Spot 4: B4
Spot 5: B3
Spot 6: B3
Spot 7: A2
Spot 8: A2
For RW ops, the runways may be divided into three, what are the subdivisions?
Short: From the threshold to 4000ft Distance to run markers (DTRM)
Centre: From the 4000ft DTRM to the 2000ft DTRM
Long: From the 2000ft DTRM until the upswing threshold
What is the airspace associated with a choppers west clearance (CHW)?
Defined as west of RWY 03/21 within a 5NM radius from the Nowra TACAN up too 1,500ft AMSL
Note, a clearance to cross the western side of RWY 08/26 is not required.
What are the key points regarding the western pad?
Western Pad
- Is a training area located directly NE of the ATC tower surrounded made up of a large grass patch
- Has 3 spots which can be used for training, spot 1 being closest to the 03/21 RWY, spot 2 in the middle and spot 3 furthest away
- The preceding aircraft has the right of way to the western pad
What is the airspace associated with a choppers north clearance (CHN)?
North of the 08/26 RWY out to 5Nm from SFC to 1500ft AMSL (1100ft AGL)
Clearance not required to cross 03/21
What is the airspace associated with a choppers south clearance (CHN)?
The airspace S of RWY 08/26 within 5nm of the TACAN from SFC to 1500ft.
Note: Permission not required to cross RWY 03/21
On approach, what R/T is required to be made before 5NM?
C/S (Taipan 23), position (6NM to the N), level (maintaining 1500ft) and intentions (tracking for finals RWY 26/for the CIRA)
Under what circumstances is a flight notification not required?
Only if intending to remain within the CIRA
When are engine start clearances required? And how are they done?
When parachuting operations are taking place, completed by contacting SMC for Nowra and APR for JB (Jervis Bay)
When operating with SARTIME/NOCOM, what additional information is required to be passed to ATC and when?
Endurance is to be provided on taxi during the taxi clearance
You are intending to operate in one of the “choppers” areas, how do you make this radio call?
Tapian 23, request clearance for choppers north for operations within state loc
Note: Usual clearance will be for not above 1500ft AMSL
What is the normal and low level circuit height for JB aerodrome?
Normal: 1000ft AMSL (800ft AGL)
Low: 500ft AMSL (300AGL)
Note: Using nowra QNH
You are flying in choppers N and are heading W to E and look to see you are about to pass the runway extended centreline, what should you do?
Nothing, you are allowed to cross as part of your choppers clearance
How do you get clearance for the LFAs or transit through?
Request airways clearance for the LFA to delivery. Up too 4 LFA’s can be “booked” at a time.
E.g. “Taipan XX, request operations L3 transit through L4”
Note: L’s 3, 5, 7, 8 extend beyond R421, the clearance to operate within that LFA grants you the ability to exit and enter the CTR as long as you remain within the bounds of the LFA
How are callsigns made at 723SQN?
Taipan followed by the last 2 numbers of the aircraft tail number
What is the LFA common freq and what are pilot requirments to transmitt to ATC when flying in a LFA?
LFAs 1-8 use 296.3
LFAs 9-14 do not have a designated freq
Pilots are required to maintain normal listening and reporting IAW clearance
What are the guidelines for the “fly neighbourly” policy?
Avoid residential buildings by 200m laterally and 500ft vertically
WHat is the max number of aircraft able to conduct circuits at JB aerodrome?
5, With 3 rotary wing aircraft max
What are the operating frequencies when conducting circuits are JB aerodrome and what freq should be monitored?
Aircraft broadcast on 121.65 even if they are the only aircraft present. Aircraft should monitor Nowra Approach.
Note: When CTAF 118.85 is used
What is the purpose of the helicopter spots?
They are the primary and default takeoff and landing spots for all helicopter ops unless use of the RWY is specially requested
What conditions are applied for aircraft taking off from or landing onto a helicopter spot?
All approaches/departures should be parallel to the duty runway.
Post landing, taxi clearance must be obtained before leaving the spot
You are planning to transit nearby the JBA CIRA but do not to complete Circuits, what requirement is there for your traffic separation?
Aircraft transiting to any area that will infringe JBA CIRA are request traffic on the appropriate CIRA freq
What are the major differences between LFAs 1-8 and LFAs 9-14
LFSs 1-8:
- Cleared SFC to 3000ft (able to request more)
- Approved terrain flight areas
- Use 296.3 for air to air comms
- 3 aircraft max (1 if NoE)
LFAs 9-14
- Cleared SFC to 1500ft
- Unable to terrain fly
- No freq
